Your children mean the world to you. They make life interesting, fun and unusual. While nothing will ever beat the feelings you have for your kids, you will occasionally want to hang them out and take a break. Being a parent can be overwhelming and especially for a mother with young children.It is easy to let yourself go because there isn’t much time in the 24 hours you are given each day to wear makeup. These make up tips will make it easier for you to wear makeup and allow you to be great all day every day.
Plan Ahead
As a mom, you know your day will always be full even with the kids at their grandmas, there is still too much to do. You, therefore, need to plan and ensure you have everything you will need for your make up ready for use. It sounds like a silly thing to put in your to do list, but it will be helpful in making makeup application faster and swifter. It is also a great way of ensuring you are doing something for yourself amid your busy schedule. Knowing where all your makeup is, will reduce the time used fumbling around searching for items.
Be Sure to Even out Your Completion
Sure, everyone knows that the life of a mom is a busy one. However, no one will forgive you for looking terrible on the streets. You will not forgive yourself. If you have clear skin, skip this part and just go with your regular foundation routine. Make use of the concealer for those days when you did not have enough rest and had terrible bags under your eyes. If your skin is uneven, you will need more coverage. You may want to try tinted moisturizer. This can easily be applied with your hands for faster application. Always ensure that you use the moisturizer on your face, neck, and chest. After you are done, take a step back to ensure everything is the same color.
Pick Top Three
There are just those times when you will be in too much of a hurry to do everything that needs to be done. You will, therefore, need to pick your most important makeup kits. These will be items that you can apply in a hurry, are essential to you and can cover up for the rest. If you are in a dilemma on what to pick, a rule of thumb is to choose a product that helps to enhance your best feature whether it is your long lashes, your voluminous lips or high cheekbones. It is reasonable to want to hide your flaws, but this will take longer. Enhancing your best features is easy, and you will not have to spend too much time ensuring everything looks right.
Stick with the Basics
If you are going to apply eye shadow, stick to the neutrals. This way, if you mess up, it will not be as noticeable as it would have been if you use a brighter color. Do not spend your time blending everything; just use one or two shades. This will be enough for you to look great and still have a chance to ensure your babies are ready and out the door on time. When you are in a hurry, it is likely that one eye will be perfect and the other will look terrible. You will end up losing track of time trying to get the one eye perfect.
Touch up on the Go
Do not be embraced of doing some finishing touches of your make up as you commute especially if you travel by train or bus. If you are driving, you may be tempted but for the sake of safety, do not apply makeup as you drive. Unless, of course, you can get someone to drive on your behalf as you do what needs to be done. A hydrating primer is perfect and should be focused on areas where there are most movement, the frown and smile lines for instance.
Conclusion
Even as you try to wear your make up as quickly as you can, remember that the best makeup is a healthy diet. So eat healthy foods and drink tons of water.
